I have a lot of doctors (nine in total that I see regularly) and they have shared stories with me, anonymously of course, and some have been "WAY OUT THERE," but the stuff you deal with, I just don't understand! Do you notice a trend......do the craziest patients all get referred from the same PCP group?? Maybe someone has a brain cell to pick with you! Because this shit is unreal. At some point does the humor get replaced by pure frustration?

On a serious note, my dad loved eating eggs almost every day for breakfast and one day my sister in law asked him if he wanted scrambled eggs. He looked at her like she had two heads and said he didn't eat eggs, didn't like them. Such is the nature of old age dementia/alzheimers. He's 92 - I forgive him anything!

Welcome to my whining!
